NH Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Maybe the worst performance in a big game I’ve ever seen. We don’t deserve to be in the NCAA tournament based on our resume right now. BUT if we come together, take this loss as a shot to our mental and physical toughness, and come back and beat VCU on the road they will have proved that they deserve to still be fighting. No matter what happens this season I am proud of everything Goodwin has laid on the line these four years. Same with French. They deserve to go out with their heads held high knowing they gave it their all during this final 3 games plus the conference tourney. And I’m gonna root my ass off for them to do that. slufanskip and CBFan 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lando Griffin Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Inexcusable loss. They got to win the next 3 to pull this out and probably do a semi at least in the A-10 to have a chance. they just couldn’t shoot worth a damn and that was it. not blaming Ford although he begrudgingly tried to get his starters going when he should’ve just run this depth and kept them in the game early. French coming back in killed them when they went on that mini run to tighten it back up. majerus mojo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

3star_recruit Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Hat's off to Coach Grant for exposing our weaknesses. Better to learn that now than in the A-10 tournament. We won't be able to effort our way out of this against teams that have the personnel to guard us. We've been bullying people with a small lineup for so long we think that's normal. lquarles and billikenbill 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't have our team prepared. We did nothing good. We got to figure out how to play a whole lot better than tonight." Protecting his team. He didn’t miss any open jumpers or layups. slufanskip 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

slufan13 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Ford sucked Our players sucked Grant was good Dayton was great We are lucky the final margin was only 23 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HoosierPal Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 We are now tied with Dayton and Richmond for 5th in the A10. It is an uphill battle for one of the double bye's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing more than Coach speak. That said, he could have done things different. Not a good end game performance. But when you should 19-70 it doesn’t matter. No coach is winning that game.

slufan13 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I'm not saying he was good tonight but this is like the 8th game in a row where I've wondered why Linssen doesn't play even even few more minutes. 2010andBeyond, TRN and Slu let the dogs out? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed. French is so worried about getting fouls that his game is totally different. He’s not getting nearly as many blocked and altered shots this year. The same with rebounds.

Billiken Rich Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Just now, wgstl said: when you play this bad, it doesnt matter who the coach is. True. Name a coach who could've won this game. Brad and Rick would've come up with a gangster defensive scheme but shooting like we did would've made them look stupid too Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I really believe this game would have been completely different if the Bills hit any of their WIDE OPEN looks the first few trips down. They were ready to play. They missed wide open looks at an incredible clip the first 3 minutes and that caused them to panic. That where the game was lost. The missed shots got into their heads and they couldn’t recover.

Billiken Rich Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 we were exposed tonight.......again! This is not a final four caliber team unless we get the most favorable draw in history......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
